Think about the people you love who have been and presently are a positive influence in your life and send them an inspirational love letter expressing your thankfulness for them. The letter could be sent to a parent or grandparent, a spouse, or your child. The inspirational letter could even be written to a close friend or a dear neighbor. It really should not matter if it was someone you were close to from years ago, if you never had the opportunity to tell them the positive influence they had in your life, an inspirational love letter will definitely be appreciated very much and is never to late to send. It may arrive at a time when they need some encouragement. Everyone likes to know they are valued and appreciated.

Take the time to set aside a special day, just to write an inspirational love letter telling that special someone how much they mean to you and possibly mention some special times you shared together or how they have helped shape your life for the better with their positive attitude or help. Try to share what is in your heart because they may never have known or been

aware of what impressions, or the impact they had made on your life. The letter could be a very special encouragement for them at a time when they need it the most. Do not be upset or surprised if they do not respond or acknowledge your letter. Some people feel uncomfortable with compliments or praise so just feel good knowing you have done the right thing; it has nothing at all to do with receiving a response.

Unfortunately, though texting and emailing is easy and convenient, it has in a sense dehumanized our contacts. The very tool that was supposed to save us time has made us a little lazy in personal interaction. Actually, writing an inspirational love letter or receiving a personal letter in the mail is almost a thing of the past and is something we should try to do more often. Try to be more generous with your thoughts and emotions to help make your small part of the world just a little kinder. Hopefully the recipient of your inspirational letter will do the same thing for someone else and they in turn will write a letter to someone and so on and so on. You can be a part of changing the world into a better place one inspirational love letter at a time.
